More women contributors please
Sir, As a woman geochemist and avid science communicator, I was sad to see the lack of contributions from women in the “Hole load of trouble” issue of Geoscientist. This does nothing to dispel the myth that geologists are all middle aged men with beards, socks and sandals* and I would imagine is fairly off putting for female geoscientists out there.
It would be great to see a better balance of male and female contributions in each issue, so I implore all females out there to put pen to paper and ensure that we get a fair representation in the future!
*this by no means implies that the male contributors to this issue had beards, socks and sandals.
